[nobe-l] BELL Program in Wisconsin

[Thorpe, Mary Jo]

Hi all,
    This summer the NFBJI is helping to facilitate three Braille
Enrichment through Literacy and Learning (BELL) programs.  We are
actively trying to recruit students in Wisconsin, Georgia, and Maryland.
Our expected start date is set for June 15 in Wisconsin, and we are
still a little shy of our desired number of participants.  If you are a
parent or professional who knows of a low vision/blind child age 4-12 in
one of these states who could benefit from some intensive Braille
instruction, please contact me.  Each Bell program is designed to run
for 2 weeks in its respective state and will be filled with fun hands on
activities and exciting opportunities.  Please contact me for more
information.  
 
Sincerely,
Mary Jo Thorpe
